The New Father - good book for new fathers (duh!) This is an good book with a unique persepctive from the male side of raising a child. It is a little "out there" at times, but does provide a great perspective. If there is one thing I have noticed in all the info out there is how skewed to the mother's perspective it is so it is refreshing to have a straight forward/modern view from the guy's perspective. If you want to be involved with your child and understand what the child and mother are going through, this is a good read.
Very pragmatic approach to a new baby for the dad This book is written for the new dad from a male perspective. Very well-written and to the point. Practical month-by-month chapters that cover what you are going through during the various stages. I highly recommend you read this once before your child arrives, then as they progress month by month.
The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year This book was a gift to a perspective father - he was happy to receive the book and said it looks like it will surely help him in his new role. I showed the book to a friend and she wanted one for her son-in-law who will become a first time father in March. Our daughter wants it for her baby's father.
not for everyone I bought this book for my husband and I had to get rid of it. I ended up getting him "Be Prepared" which was much more practical and forgiving. The New Father author has very strong opinions and if this is your first baby and your husband is like mine and believes what he reads from an "expert" then this is not the book for you. For example, the author does not think you should use baby wipes for the first few weeks. Some babies have reactions to them, most don't, but the author doesn't say test them...he says don't use them period. My husband was turning into a backseat driver based completely on one person's word. My advice is to find a book that is written in a more suggestive than factual manner.
Great book Very easy reading. Clear, and surprsingly thorough. i got it as a gift from a friend, and wos, it was a great gift! extremely funny, and entertaining, so it made it easy and fun to get all the info needed to be a NEW parent. highly recommended!
